In some circumstances, Spousal Maintenance is appropriate in addition to Child Support or may be considered on a standalone basis.
This often occurs in situations where one partner is unable to support themselves adequately after separation and the other party has the financial capacity to pay the person in financial need. We can explain how Spousal Maintenance works and negotiate a fair outcome for you.

Options include administrative assessments, limited agreements, or binding child support agreements requiring independent legal advice for both parties.
A written agreement that must be equal to or greater than the assessed amount and does not require legal advice.
A legally enforceable agreement where both parties must obtain independent legal advice.
Yes, via Private Collect if assessment or agreements are in place.
